The distribution and delivery of millions of items of personal protective equipment including masks will now be carried out by the army who will drive trucks throughout the day and night, health minister Matt Hancock said in a statement. The authorities have released protective kit from the national stockpile reserved for pandemic influenza, said the joint statement from the department of health and National Health Service on Monday.“We are taking urgent action to ensure dedicated frontline NHS and social care staff – who are working tirelessly to tackle this outbreak – feel supported. Today they are getting millions more PPE kits as part of that promise,” Hancock said.
